JOSEPH DECKER 


Autumn Landscape 


Seen against a distant view of pale green and yel- 
low trees is a central mass of foliage, orange, green, 
yellow, and red in hue. In front of it appears a cow, 
and nearer, in the foreground, on the right, the figure 
of a man. 

Height, 14 inches; length, 22 inches.

GiaAk LES; T.BLAUVELT, N.A. 


1824-1900 
A Wet Day 


A man in an old-fashioned long coat, with a red 
pocket handkerchief protruding from the side pocket, 
stands at a bar, filling his glass from a bottle of Bour- 
bon whiskey. His umbrella rests against the wood- 
work beside him. 


Signed at the right. 
Height, 8 inches; width, 5 inches. 


The little subjects by Mr. Blauvelt, skilfully drawn 
and very agreeable in color, possess a good deal of 
character, and sometimes have quite the spirit of 
the Dutch genre pictures.

CARLETON WIGGINS, A.N.A. 


Autumn 


In the distance a mountain slopes gently down 
from the right to a valley in which is a small lake 
wrapped in gray haze. The rocky foreground is cleft 
by a gully, on the left of which are some firs, while 
on the opposite bank a man sits upon a fallen trunk 
in front of a group of high yellow and orange-red 
trees, 


Signed at the right. 
Height, 9 inches; width, 7 inches. 


Mr. Wiggins, best known as a painter of pastoral 
landscape with sheep and cattle, travelled extensively 
in Europe and brought back with him many vigorous 
pictures of the romantic spots he had visited.

B. WALTER PRIESTMAN 


Central Park Drive 


The Driveway, broadening towards the fore- 
ground, is scattered with carriages, riders, and 
pedestrians; a man on a bicycle, moving away from 
us, being nearest to the front. The avenue of trees 
terminates on the right in shrubs covered with mauve 
and yellow blossoms, and on the opposite side in a 
wooden arch arbor. 


Signed at the right. 
Height, 12 inches; length, 16 inches. 


Pure, fresh color, good rendering of atmosphere, 
and a pleasant animation of feeling are found in Mr. 
Priestman’s landscapes. 


6 
WILLARD L. METCALF 


Landscape 


The foreground of russet-brown grass, sprinkled 
with small bowlders, slopes down from the left, 
bordered by a fence and a row of trees with foliage 
growing brown and yellow. At the foot of the de- 
cline is a glimpse of a grass lane beyond the wooden 


. fence. 


Signed at the right. 
Height, 12 inches; length, 18 inches. 


Mr. Metcalf’s studies of open-air nature are par- 
ticularly charming in their fresh purity of color and 
sense of atmosphere, qualities backed up by skilful 
drawing and construction. 


7 
JOSEPH DECKER 


Outward Bound 


Coming up from a horizon overcast with a pur- 
plish, slaty sky, breaking on the right into pale 
yellow clouds and spanned with a rainbow on the 
left, an ocean steamer, black-hulled, and red below 
the water line, is ploughing through the dark green 


waves. ; 
Height, 9 inches; length, 14 inches.

GEORGE INNESS, N.A. 
1825-1894 


Medfield, Massachusetts 


Three big trees stand in a line across the fore- 
ground of meadow, in which cows are feeding. Be- 
tween the two trunks on the left appear the white 
gables and chimneys of a house surrounded by 
luxuriant foliage, which rises in a mass towards the 
centre of the picture Beyond this is a glimpse of the 
village. 


Signed at the right. 
Height, 9 inches; length, 14 inches.

LOUIS MOELLER, N.A. 


Belated 


In the waiting-room of a little station the ticket 
office is closed, and a lady and gentleman stand de- 
jectedly looking at a clock on the wall. He wears 
a black frock-coat and gray trousers, and the lady 
carries a parcel, her handbag being on the floor 


at her side, and the rest of their baggage lying on a /j 


seat. 


Signed at the right. 
Height, 14 inches; width, 12 inches.

GEORGE H. SMILLIE, N.A. 


Near the Beach 


The foreground of sand, scattered with brown- 
purple brush and yellow rushes, extends on the left 
to a stone wall, where a woman is passing through a 
gate to some white cottages and trees beyond. On 
the right, slaty slabs of rock rise up in the form of a 
pyramid, over which lower dark gray clouds in a sky 
elsewhere blue. 


Signed at the right. 
Height, 9 inches; length, 16 inches. 


Mr. Smillie’s landscapes and coast subjects, many 
of them gathered in Long Island, are skilfully drawn, 
agreeably vivacious in color, and full of the simple 
character of the country. 


II 


Craniuns H. MILLER, N.A. 


A Long Island Mill Stream 


A little way beyond the mill the stream is crossed 
by a light wooden bridge. Cows appear to the left 
of the water, and on the opposite bank, rising steep 
with brown earth and vegetation, grow a few big 
Frees 


Signed at the left. 
Height, 9 inches; length, 12 inches. 


Long Island is Mr. Miller’s favorite haunt, and he 
paints its quaint nooks and quiet animation, and its 
varying effects of light and color, with affectionate 
knowledge. 


I2 


HOMER D. MARTIN, N.A. 
1836-1897 


Roadside, Honfleur 


On the right a brown road leads back past a bunch 
of trees with dark foliage. In the meadow, on the 
opposite side, is a tangle of slender trees, a white 
one bending across the others, with masses of loose 
leafage seen against a bluish-gray sky. 


Signed at the left. 
Height, 7 inches; length, to inches.

WILLIAM F. pE LEFTWICH DODGE 


Gathering Wild Flowers 


In the high grass which, sprinkled with petals of 
white flowers, extends across the front of the pic- 
ture, stands a little girl in a pale blue dress and 
straw hat. A short distance behind her is a smaller 
child in darker blue. The meadow stretches away 
in a yellow-green sward to a hedge and trees, be- 
yond which are purple-blue hills. To the right of the 
foreground is a bunch of trees. 


Signed at the right. 
Height, 16 inches; length, 29 inches. 


A vigorous and skilful painter, who delights in 
pure colors, Mr. Dodge has made a close study of 
the effects of sunshine. His pictures in this direction 
are among the best things that he has done. 


14 
B. W. PRIESTMAN 


Landscape 


The foreground of meadow tufted with rushes, and 
strewn on the right with branches of trees, is bor- 
dered with a fence, along which, at intervals, are 
large trees. Through an opening in the centre ap- 
pears a sloping upland, divided by hedges and 
rimmed at the top with a belt of trees. The cool, 
gray sky is full of moisture. 


Signed at the right. 
Height, 16 inches; length, 20 inches. 


15 
JOHN J. ENNEKING 


Venetian Boats 


Conspicuous on the water which stretches across 
the front of the picture is a boat with a cream- 
colored sail bordered with yellow, and another one 
of deep crimson hue. Farther back are a brigan- 
tine and smaller craft. From the left a spit of land 
juts out, with several buildings, terminating in a 
lighthouse. 


Signed at the right, and dated 1876. 
Height, 14 inches; length, 22 inches. 


Mr. Enneking has painted in many manners, rec- 
ognizing the right of the person who pays the fiddler 
to call the tune. He is a thorough student of the 
form and character of landscape and at his best in 
pictures of woodland scenes. 


16 
CHARLES F. BLAUVELT, N.A. 


1824-1900 
Kitchen Interior 


On the left of a drab wall, facing us, is a stone- 
arched fireplace, with logs burning on the red-tiled 
hearth. To the right of) at are’ @ jeupboara. ane 
dresser, near which sits a woman in white cap, peel- 
ing potatoes. On the table at her side are bowls, 
apples, and carrots. 


Signed at the left. 
Height, 10 inches; length, 12 inches. 


17 
Ree ALBERT BLAKELOCK 


The Glow 


On the nearly flat horizon small trees show faintly 
against the glow of the sky, which overhead is cov- 
ered with a sooty web of clouds. A meadow slopes 
to a pool in the foreground, on the right of which, 
growing upon a bank, are trees with sturdy limbs 
and bold bunches of foliage. } 


Signed at the right. 
Height, 12 inches; length, 17 inches. 


Mr. Blakelock is as devoted to music as to paint- 
ing, and the resonance and vibrating tenderness of 
his glowing color schemes suggest the influence of 
the sister art. He is self-taught, and one of the most 
individual and interesting of American painters. 


18 
1 CoNIGOLRE Nine 


Sandy Shore 


The stretch of sand is interrupted by a pool on 
the right, and on the other side of the picture slopes 
up with a scattering of brush. In the middle distance 
is a boat with figures in it, and against the horizon, 
where the pale gray seas stretch across the entire 
picture, appears the smoke of vessels. Clusters of 
white and grayish clouds occupy the sky. 


Signed at the right. 
Height, 14 inches; length, 24 inches. 


Mr. Nicoll has gathered material for his marines 
along the Atlantic coast, from the Gulf of St. 
Lawrence to Florida. He studied for a while with 
M. F. H. de Haas, and painted out of doors with 
Kruseman Van Elten, and has been always a close 
student of nature. ; 


19 
WILLIAM BRADFORD, A.N.A. 
1830-1892 


Icebergs 


A wall of jagged ice stretches across the picture, 
rising up a little to the right of the centre in a sort 
of flat cone upon a huge pedestal. In the foreground 
are pools of greenish-blue water, and the sky is of 
pale green hue, shimmering with haze. 


Signed at the right. 
Height, 14 inches; length, 21 inches. 


Self-taught, but influenced by Van Beest, whose 
studio at Fairhaven he shared for a time, Mr. Brad- 
ford began by painting ships in the harbor at Lynn, 
Mass. Later he extended his study of the sea along 
the shores of Labrador and Nova Scotia, and after- 
wards made several Arctic expeditions with Dr. 
Hayes, the explorer. From this resulted his pictures 
of icebergs and icefloes which were exhibited in 
London and purchased, among others, by Queen 
Victoria.

EASTMAN JOHNSON, N.A. 


Devotion 


A woman in black, with a black veil covering her 
head and shoulders, kneels in prayer before a carved- 
wood prie-Dieu that stands against the wall, under a 
large picture. Behind her, to the left, is a couch, 
with wooden rails enclosing a red coverlet, and a 
high wooden head, with curtains of the same color. 

Signed at the left, and dated 1864. | 

Height, 21 inches; width, 17 inches. 


Mr. Eastman Johnson is no less distinguished for 
his portraits than for his genre subjects. In the 
latter the fine precision of brush work, the deep- 
toned harmonies of color, and the beautiful sensuous- 
ness of feeling give them a very individual dignity. 


21 
GEORGE INNESS, N.A. 
1825-1894 


Sunlit Woods 


The forest glade slopes up to the right, where a, iZv 


birch stem shows distinctly, and two others less so, 
against a blur of lighted foliage. The latter, as well 
as the vegetation on the ground, represents a riot 
between forms and colored:light.

MAX WEYL 


In the Woodland 


In the bright green foreground, a little to the left 
of the centre, stands a large beech tree, behind which 
are smaller ones, and then a tangle of foliage and 
trees forms against a blue and white sky. 


Signed at the right. 
Height, 21 inches; width, 12 inches. 


Mr. Weyl’s landscapes are pure in color, carefully 
drawn, and very agreeable in feeling. 


23 
AUGUSTUS KOOPMAN 
Atlantic City 


Near the top left corner are a few dots of light 
glimmering below a dark greenish-blue sky. Ex- 


tending down the left of the picture is a stretch of , 


dull drab sand, bordered by the curving gray ripples 
of the sea, 


Signed at the left. 
Height, 13 inches; width, 1o inches. 


After being a student at the Pennsylvania Acad- 
emy, Mr. Koopman went to Paris and entered the 
Ecole des Beaux Arts, working under Bouguereau 
and Fleury. He has exhibited regularly at the 
Champs de Mars since 1896, and won the first prize 
of the American Art Association, Paris, in 1899.

LOUIS MOELLER, N.A. 


A One-Sided Argument 


Three men are seated around a red-covered table 
in a room with bluish-green walls. The one on the 
left is emphasizing his remarks with upraised fist, 
while another, sitting opposite, in a long, drab linen 
coat, holds a paper as he listens. At the back, 
against the wall, sits a third, in evening dress, who 
turns his head towards the speaker. 


Signed at the right. 
Height, 12 inches; length, 16 inches. 


Small though Mr. Moeller’s pictures are, and 
minutely finished, they have a breadth of style, for 
he worked, in his Munich days, under Duveneck and 
Dietz, on large canvases. He is an accomplished 
draughtsman, and a painter of good color and fine 
touch, admirable also in his delineation of character 
and expression. 


nA 


25 
J. ALDEN WEIR, N.A. 


A Cloudy Day 


In the foreground the hillside, covered with yellow- 
green grass, slopes down from the left. A little 
farther back it rises towards the right, with brush 
upon it and a tree that shows greenish blue against 
a dark gray sky. The latter is paler on the horizon 
and streaked above with wind and moisture. 


Signed at the left. 
Height, 12 inches; length, 16 inches. 


In his landscapes Mr. Weir presents not only the 
hardy characteristics of New England scenery, but 
also a delicate rendering of its qualities of atmos- 
phere. His work is at once virile and tender, broadly 
treated, and subtle in expression. 


26 


HARRY: CHASE ANA? 
1853-1889 


Open Sea 


High up in the centre of a dull gray sky is a break 
of creamy light. The sea near the horizon is of a 
dark bluish hue, growing green towards the front of 
the picture. The light shining through the translu- 
cent crest of one of the waves is a conspicuous mark, 
and a little way from it, in the trough of the water, 
are two gulls. 


Signed at the right, and dated 1878. 
Height, 15 inches; length, 22 inches. 


In his marines Mr. Chase was able to suggest the 
color, movement, and expanse of ocean, with con- 
siderable feeling for air and atmosphere. He studied 
at Munich and The Hague, and under Soyer in Paris. 


27 
EMIL CARLSEN 


American Beauty Roses 


Set against a background of pale green is a large, 
gray porcelain vase, in which is a bunch of crimson 
roses, similar blossoms also lying around its base. 


Signed at the right, and dated 1895. 
Height, 35 inches; width, 25 inches. 


As a painter of still-life Mr. Carlsen has estab- 
lished an excellent reputation. He treats his sub- 
jects with breadth, securing fine color and tone, and 
good quality of texture.

ARTHUR PARTON, N.A. 


Landscape 


The rich pasture, with elms on the right, stretches 
back to a pool in the middle distance, beyond which 
are trees and a rounded hill. The sky is pale blue, 
with gray and rosy-white clouds. 


Signed at the left. 
Height, 16 inches; length, 22 inches. 


Mr. Parton’s landscapes, whether gleaned in Scot- 
land or England, or in his summer haunts in this 


country, are full of the quiet pleasantness of rural 
nature.

The brown road extends across the lower part of 
77, the picture, fringed on the right with a row of wil- 
lows, beneath which are three figures. The valley 
stretches beyond in hues of golden greenish brown, 
and above the horizon appears a range of white 
Paes rocky formations which catch the light—an artist’s 
“7 es dream-city in the clouds, or rocks transformed by, 

his imagination.

F. S. CHURCH, N.A. 


The Little Shrimper 


The sand runs up to a little patch of bright green 
grass on the right, and a strip of blue sea crosses 
the horizon. Near the foreground, a little to the left 
of the centre, is a bare-legged child, with a pale green 
skirt reaching to the knees, a white bodice, and a 
yellow kerchief on her head. She carries a wooden 
spade and basket. 


Signed at the left. 
Height, 12 inches; length, 20 inches. 
Not less dainty than the fancy which characterizes 


Mr. Church’s conception is the delicate scheme of 
pure and limpid color in which they are expressed.

if HOMER D. MARTIN, N.A. 
1836-1897 

Rainy Day 


Occupying the left corner of the picture is a tri- 
angle of brownish-yellow bank, on which are two 


-—“slender trees with tufts of foliage at their tops, 


and by their side two smaller ones. Beyond them 
stretches the sea, white and hazy, beneath a blue sky, 
in which are gathering whitish clouds. 


Signed at the left.

33 
Die DE AAS, N-A: 
1832-1895 


Sunset at Sea 


The violet sea reflects the brilliant tints of the sky, 
which has a glow of red upon the horizon, and over- 
head a series of orange, fleecy clouds mounting up 
into the blue. In the middle distance, towards the 
left, is a sailboat, and other smaller ones appear be- 
yond it. Against a big rock, on the right of the fore- 
ground, the smoothly rolling water is breaking in a 
slight spatter of spray. 


Signed at the left. 
Height, 9 inches; length, 14 inches. 


In his marines Mr. de Haas leaned always to the 
picturesque or romantic suggestions of the ocean, 
painting it, in his best pictures, with a fine regard for 


tone and movement. —_

FREDERIC E. CHURCH, N.A. 


1826-1900 
Twilight 


A blue-purple sky, streaked diagonally with red, 
* fades into a primrose-green horizon, silhouetted by 
_ distant mountain peaks. In the foreground is a pool 
of water encircled with rocky banks that, on the 
right, are fringed with a sprinkling of fir trees. 


Signed in the centre. 
Height, 8 inches; length, 12 inches. 


The poetic feeling in Frederic E. Church’s land- 
scapes is always stimulated by the grander aspects 
of nature. He was a constant traveller, and his bent, 
whether in Mexico, Labrador, Europe, or Asia, was 
ever towards those spots where nature showed her 
most majestic phases. Even in his diminutive pic- 
tures there is the evidence of this passion for the 
grandiose.

WILLIAM L. SONNTAG, N.A.

North Woods

his later works have added richly; placing him, in-
